Hi,
Welcome to Hcm,
I understand your concern. 1 cm size lump in the neck is not a concern. It can normally be there in this age group children and can be related to some infection in ear, nose, throat area. But, the bleeding through the nose is quite significant I must say and good you are getting it evaluated. Only once blood tests come, we can derive at a diagnosis of what possible problem could be and if its secondary to some infection, then the lump can be correlated. Hope your child gets well soon. Take care.
